oggdec(1)			  Vorbis Tools			       oggdec(1)

NAME
     oggdec - simple decoder, Ogg Vorbis file to PCM audio file (Wave or RAW).

SYNOPSIS
     oggdec  [	-Qhv  ]  [  -b	bits_per_sample  ] [ -e endianness ] [ -R ] [ -s
     signedness ] [ -o outputfile ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     oggdec decodes Ogg Vorbis files  into  PCM-encoded  ("uncompressed")  audio
     files, either Wave or RAW format.

     For  each	input file, oggdec writes to a filename based on the input file-
     name, but with the extension changed to ".wav" or ".raw" as appropriate.

     If the input file is specified as - , then oggdec will read from stdin, and
     write to stdout unless an output filename is specified. Likewise, an output
     filename of - will cause output to be to stdout.

     Writing Wave format to stdout is a bad  idea.   Wave  requires  a	seekable
     medium  for  the  header to be rewritten after all the data is written out;
     stdout is not seekable.

OPTIONS
     -Q, --quiet
	    Suppresses program output.

     -h, --help
	    Print help message.

     -V, --version
	    Display version information.

     -b n, --bits=n
	    Bits per sample.  Valid values are 8 or 16.

     -e n, --endian=n
	    Set endianness for 16-bit output.  0 (default) is little-endian (In-
	    tel byte order).  1 is big-endian (sane byte order).

     -R, --raw
	    Output in raw format.  If not  specified,  writes  Wave  file  (RIFF
	    headers).

     -s n, --sign=n
	    Set signedness for output.	0 for unsigned, 1 (default) for signed.

     -o filename, --output=filename
	    Write  output  to  specified filename.  This option is only valid if
	    one input [file] is specified, or if raw mode is used.

EXAMPLES
     Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.wav
      as little-endian signed 16-bit (default options):
	    oggdec enabler.ogg

     Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as headerless little-endian signed
     16-bit:
	    oggdec --raw enabler.ogg

     Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.crazymonkey as unsigned 8-bit:
	    oggdec -b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg

     Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as big-endian signed 16-bit (any  of  the
     following):
	    oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg
	    oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - < enabler.ogg
	    oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg > enabler.raw

     Mass  decoding  (foo.ogg  to  foo.wav,  bar.ogg  to  bar.wav,  quux.ogg  to
     quux.wav, etc.):
	    oggdec *.ogg
